Passion & Execution

The Story

The Entertainment Experience was created and developed in 2011 by Bill Hermann. The flagship workshop “Power to Create” combined Hermann’s theatrical skill and knowledge as an actor, director, writer, storyteller and coach to create an educational experience that advances the careers and businesses of event professionals faster than any other standalone training.

The Entertainment Experience is a transformative experience that provides theatrical and story telling principles that anyone can apply to any event. These concepts and principles have been successfully applied to weddings, fund-raising events, comedy shows, corporate events, interactive entertainment and conferences. Students are left understanding their strength and expertise and are empowered to collaboratively create singularly unique events with each of their clients.

It began with a speech Bill Hermann presented at The Disc Jockey News Conference in 2008 titled The Entertainment Experience. In that speech he spoke of his passion for theater and applying it to the events he created with his clients. By the end of the speech it was clear that these ideas were completely new to most of the wedding entertainment (DJ) business.

This training has never been so relevant to the wedding and corporate meeting industry as it is right now. The workshop has expanded its reach to Australia, United Kingdom and Canada in addition to attracting DJs, performers and producers from across the United States.
